Abstract

Adrenal schwannomas are extremely uncommon tumors. We report the case of a 39-year-old male with a right adrenal mass. Laboratory tests were normal and radiological exams revealed the adrenal tumor. Open surgical adrenalectomy was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful. Microscopy and immunohistochemistry revealed a cellular schwannoma. Adrenal schwannomas are rare tumors, very difficult to diagnose in preoperative evaluation. Surgical excision of the tumor, histological and immunohistochemical examination of the specimen provide a definitive diagnosis. Prognosis is generally very good. Recurrence rates are related to positive surgical margins.

摘要

肾上腺神经鞘瘤是极其罕见的肿瘤。我们报告了一名39岁男性右肾上腺肿块的病例。实验室检查正常，放射学检查显示肾上腺肿瘤。进行了开放性肾上腺切除术。术后病程顺利。显微镜和免疫组织化学显示细胞性神经鞘瘤。肾上腺神经鞘瘤是罕见的肿瘤，术前评估很难诊断。手术切除肿瘤,标本的组织学和免疫组织化学检查提供了明确的诊断。预后一般很好。复发率与手术切缘阳性有关。
